Cindy McCain: Showing you're in touch with the commoners

Cindy, I'm no political expert or Dr of smartology, but when your husband and his party are smearing some guy as an out of touch elitist and is having a problem remembering all those houses you bought, it's best not to wear a $300,000 outfit to talk about the hurricane that just happened. But then, you didn't think the crack staff of fashionistas at Vanity Fair were on it.

Cindy McCain
Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000–$25,000
Shoes, designer unknown: $600
Total: Between $299,100 and $313,100

That ought to knock down those "out of touch" ads from Democrats. Though to be fair, most of it came from the earrings, the rest could only be used to pay for a year of college, not a house.
